The sidebands of high-speed gear mesh frequency peak had gone up from 0.1mm/sec to 0.25mm/sec which led to the inspection. Both high-speed and low-speed gear teeth were found worn and some teeth were broken. Time waveform also showed impacts spaced at running speed of shaft and had increased in amplitude.
